From the President: November 2023
Welcome to the November edition of the Old Girls’ Association blog.
I would like to start by officially welcoming the Class of 2023 to the Old Girls’ Association. Finishing school is an incredible milestone, and marks the beginning of your next adventure. To those of you currently sitting exams, we wish you all the very best.
We are on the home stretch to the end of the year. I know quite a few of you are looking forward to the Golden Girls Luncheon next week. It’s one of the highlights of the year at the College, with many special stories told and memories shared.
The OGA is also on the hunt for some new committee members. If you think that yourself (or someone you know) would be a good fit, please let us know. We’d love to have some new faces on board next year.
Until next time.Â

Sisterhood Networking Series – An Evening with Sandra Boyle
We hosted an inspiring Sisterhood Networking Session with Sandra Boyle, a pioneer in mediation and negotiation. Sandra shared her incredible journey from one of few women in a law cohort to becoming a leading figure in Australian law. The evening was filled with invaluable insights, camaraderie, and inspiration.
